Champions League (F): PSG wins in Sweden against Häcken and approaches the last four

The Paris Saint-Germain women's team moved closer to the semi-finals of the Champions League by winning 2-1 on Wednesday in Gothenburg at the home of the Swedes Häcken in the quarter-final first leg. PSG, finalist of the event in 2015 and 2017 but never titled, scored by the American Eva Gaetino (23rd), the Malawian Tabitha Chawinga (74th), but conceded a goal from the penalty spot transformed into two stages by Rasul Rosa Kafaji (42nd).

The return match will take place on Thursday March 28 in Paris. Central defender Eva Gaetino opened the scoring following a free kick taken on the left by Sakina Karchaoui extended with a header by Tabitha Chawinga (23rd). The Swedes, who eliminated Paris FC during the group stage, equalized on a penalty whistled for a foul by Thiniba Samoura on Anna Anvegard and transformed in two stages by Rosa Kafaji: the Polish goalkeeper of PSG Katarzyna Kiedrzynek had pushed back her strike but the Swedish attacker headed it back (42nd).

Chawinga scored the winning goal, from the left, receiving a cross from the right from the Dane Amalie Vangsgaard, who entered the game two minutes earlier (74th). The Swedes of Häcken were not an unknown opponent for the Parisiennes, who had won against them in the play-offs to reach the group stage in 2022 (2-1 victories in Paris and 2-0 in Sweden).

PSG, who topped Group C, are still undefeated since November (1-0 home defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League) and have extended their streak to 19 matches without defeat. Jocelyn Prêcheur was however deprived for this trip of his international goalkeeper Constance Picaud, missing “for personal reasons”, and of striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto, injured in the right knee.

On Tuesday, Olympique Lyonnais, French champions, won in Lisbon at the expense of Benfica 2-1 while Chelsea almost validated their ticket to the semi-finals by beating Ajax 3-0 in Amsterdam. FC Barcelona, ​​defending champion, plays the last quarter-final of the C1 this Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. on the ground of the Norwegian club Brann Bergen.
